Certification introduction
With the development of trade, buyers and consumers have increasingly higher requirements for product safety and quality. The Malaysian government stipulates that if products are regularly shipped to Malaysia, suppliers must apply for product certification. In 1998, Malaysia promulgated the new Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which specified detailed regulations for Malaysian telecommunications services and communications market access conditions.

At the same time, a new telecommunications regulatory agency, the Malaysia Communications and Multimedia Commission (CMC), was also born.

According to the "Communications and Multimedia Law", putting communication equipment on the market requires applying to CMC or a certification agency designated by CMC for type certification and obtaining an equipment certification certificate and certification mark.

The Communication Equipment Testing Section (CETS) under the jurisdiction of SIRIM is responsible for specific certification matters for communication equipment type certification.

SIRIM is the only certification management agency in Malaysia. Electronic products entering Malaysia need to apply for a SIRIM certification certificate. In principle, applicants should be local institutions in Malaysia. The application and management of SIRIM certification are specifically responsible for SIRIM QAS International, which issues SIRIM certificates.

application process
1. Evaluate whether the product requires SIRIM certification
2. Conduct IECCB testing and certification (you can omit it if you have an IECCB certificate)
3. Perform ST registration. Energy efficiency products need to review energy efficiency reports.
4. Submit IECCE report and factory quality documents to apply for SIRIM certification
5. After the document review is passed, the application will be accepted and factory inspection will be arranged.
6. Factory review passed and submitted for approval
7. Issue SIRIM product certification certificate
